Penny Pinching

I had a guy put a $20 on the table when I came to greet him and his wife and say “This is your tip. However, everytime you do something wrong, I will remove a dollar.” I thought he was joking, so I chuckled and asked “like what?”
He takes the 20 off the table and replaces it with exactly $19. Who carries enough bills to do that? He responds with: “like that.” MissJoey
